Full conversion on a mac

I'll just get directly to the topic: exactly how do you run a full conversion on a mac?
Windows .BAT files (obviously) won't work under Mac OS X, and since I'm always missing out on details I need this explained to me Dodgy

Thanks in advance! Tongue

Technically, since he said "RUN" a full conversion, you will need a .exe to .bar converter Wink

He wants to run a full conversion on mac, so he needs to convert the .bat to exe since otherwise mac won't read batch file types.

Macs don't run .exe files.

RE: Full conversion on a mac

On a mac you open the terminal and then you can type (assuming you installed Amnesia in Applications):

open /Applications/Amnesia.app --args config/THE_FULL_CONVERSIONS_main_init.cfg

You can also use Applescript and create bat like launcher:

Go to Applications/Utilities and start the AppleScript Editor then type:
do shell script "open /Applications/Amnesia.app --args config/THE_FULL_CONVERSIONS_main_init.cfg"

and save as... Application and then it is good to go.

You can set the config file to be run via the launch options I believe, read something about that before.
